two months, too fast!

Sloane is 2 months old today – where does the time go? Watching her learn & grow is just amazing! But at the same time it is so bittersweet, I want it to slow down so I don’t miss anything. This month we definitely fell into a few patterns and passed some huge milestones – which were so much fun.

…milestones

sleeping 9-11 hours straight per night, starting on Dec 22nd – it was so fantastic, I remember the exact day it started!

she loves to smile…especially at sounds and funny faces

follows us with her eyes – even when we are across the room from her

sits up in her bumbo without any help

she holds her head up and turns to look at people, when carried on my hip…but she still will not tolerate any tummy time!

she scoots – we put her down for back time or in her crib and she somehow kicks/scoots herself to a different position when we pick her up!

…thoughts about the last month

it felt like we really got into a rhythm this month – there were patterns of sleep and eating that we were starting to get into without even trying.

she is a pretty easy baby – she cries when she is hungry or tired, and when her diaper needs to be changed – but not too fussy other than those times.

we started a bit of sleep training towards her 2 month birthday – she goes down for 3-4 naps during that day in her crib, with her sound machine (amazing thing!) and it has helped her to sleep more at night too!

i love being a mom. For something I wasn’t sure I wanted to do, I love it more than I could have ever imagined. When she puts her head on my shoulder and cuddles with me after her naps, there is nothing better!
